Members were grateful for the petitioners’ continued engagement, but it was now going beyond the scope of the Petitions Committee, and the Health and Social Care Committee was in a better position to take the petitioners’ detailed questions forward.

Meeting: 20/01/2025 - Petitions Committee (Item 3)

3 P-06-1444 Women of North Wales have the right to have a Menopause Services/Clinic in Ysbyty Gwynedd

Supporting documents:

Minutes:

The Committee considered the petition and noted that the petitioner did not feel her questions had been adequately answered. Members agreed to write to Betsi Cadwaladr Health Board to ask whether more clinics could be held at Ysbyty Gwynedd (meaning one consultant has to travel to Bangor, rather than dozens of women needing to make arrangements to travel to hospitals in east Wales) to receive specialist services. The Committee will also ask which menopause services can be provided through the medium of Welsh. The Committee will also write to the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care to ask what plans they have to publish an easy-read version of the Women’s Health Plan.

Meeting: 30/09/2024 - Petitions Committee (Item 2)

Supporting documents:

Minutes:

The Committee considered the petition and agreed the questions raised by the petitioner were operational matters about service provision that were for the Health Board to respond to directly. In light of this Members agreed to write to Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board asking for:

 

more information about the current and expected demand for specialist menopause services provided through secondary care settings, and when and how they plan to provide this, both face-to-face and remotely;

more information about the provision of services in the medium of Welsh and any issues with staffing that provision; and

how feedback is gathered on the quality of women’s experiences of menopause services in North Wales – what is the level of feedback received – if it is currently low what are their plans to address that, and whether there are plans to change existing service provision based on that.

 

The Committee also noted there was a wider issue of the consistency of menopause services across all health boards in Wales, but this was something that should be included in the Women’s Health Plan for NHS Wales due to be published in December 2024. In the first instance it was in the remit of the Health and Social Care Committee to scrutinise that plan, therefore the Committee agreed to write to the Chair of the Health and Social Care Committee about the matter.

 

In addition to the actions agreed the Chair noted that she would also be speaking in a Members’ debate on Women’s healthcare in plenary on Wednesday 2 October where she would highlight the petition.
